stumbled across this the other day, i can see why people retore minis and classics in general but this seems madness to me.
no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

The going rate for a new decent transit camper from a manufacturer is £30k upwards.

I've mentioned this before but I would love to recess the firewall on something like this and shoehorn in a nice premium brand turbo diesel V8. 300 bananas and say 500 curleywhirlies should give it a decent turn of speed and still get 35+ MPG. On 7th Nov, 2008 Nic said:

I was looking at a new motorhome the other week and it had a TDCi with a six speed box - seemed more like a stroked car engine to me.

2.5di is pretty much bomb proof. If a cam belt goes, generally only fooks the rockers. New ford stuff....good for the bin. On 19th Jan, 2010 wil_h said:

50/50 about scrapping it. Its a solid shell, so problably get another box. Might change the axle while I'm at it, its so low geared. Get a later axle & move the leaf spring mounts. On 19th Jan, 2010 wil_h said:

Got all gears. :) It was in 1st gear, but the gear lever was in 3rd on the selector. So there was no way of getting back into neutral. Very odd.
